Flags of the Confederate States of America
Additional Details:
| The Confederate Flag (center) was adopted September, 1861, after General Beauregard decided that a new flag was needed in the Battle of Manassas, July 21, 1861, to be less confusing than the Stars and Bars; or the First National Flag of the Confederacy, which resembled the U.S. Flag (Union) in the dust, smoke and heat of battle. |
